Using a historical tragedy as the backdrop of a contrived threesome romance, smh.

michael bay is one of the best if not the action director of our time, or ever. every movie he does is epic in its own way and is huge at scale. the special effects in this movie are unbelievable and the explosions are massive. theres a half hour battle that is truly one of the best in cinema history. ben afflek does an okay job playing rafe. josh hartnet does good playin rafes best friend. everyone in the cast gets the job done for the most part. this movie is just as epic and huge as every michael bay movie. the camera gets insane and adds the intensety needed. i thought there would be more random slo-mo moments with the heroes because bay has done that in every big movie of his:armageddon, bad boys, and most of all Transformers wich i did review but didnt end up on this web site for some reason. anyway, pearl harbor may not explain everything behind the politics of the war, but what we get is delivered in the most proffesional way possible. some critics said that there was little or no politics told about the story. uhhh...theres about an hour spent at the white house in this 3hr movie(with president roosevelt brilliantly played by jon voight). i didnt care for any of the random scenes with the enemy planning the attacks, though, but who cares about the very minor flaws, meaning:old war movie cliches, and very little political reasoning. michael bay is one of the few directors thats has inspired me to become a movie director . but overall, this is one of the best ww2 movies in recent years and i cant wait for transformers 2.

this movie was great i loved almost ever minute, yeah in a way its like titanic a love story surranded by a true tragidy, but its a beautiful story. if u liked titanic u'll love this movie and i do. its so sad but true. these people dont know what they r talken bout it was a great movie, although it did have some slow parts u have to have some respect for the movie for it is in memory of the hundreds of thousands of people that died in WW2. my grandfather was in the war and at pearl harbor a pilot also, and it brought him to tears, he also loved the movie and he lived the experiance.

I believe that Pearl Harbor is one of the greatest war movies. I thought the story was great because you get a great sense of how particular lives were effected by the Pearl Harbor attack. That really engaged me into the movie besides the awesome action! Being born and growing up in Oahu, Hawaii, I have so much more added respect for the film. Overall, Pearl Harbor is an superb film, pick up a copy.

pearl harbor is a good movie, only if there wasnt any of that stupid romance. the battle scenes are simply fantastic. extremely well made. especially the bombing of pearl harbor. the picture and sound are incredible. i didnt fine any flaws throughout the the movie. wish there were more extras. there is a good making of pearl harbor though. recommended

This is a great quality movie. The Blu-Ray disk adds a lot of definition and the picture is truly perfect. This makes for a great date movie and if you have surround sound, the gunshots in the background are sure to make you jump out of your seats and into the arms of your loved one.

Michael Bay has done it again this is one of those history films you must see hands down. Mr. Bay did a very well done film great story and the cast is just amazing, this is a must have and I mean come on its a Michael Bay film

I got this movie cause Ihad a copy of it on VHS but up graded to DVD ! I love the drama of the move & the action . It was a heart felt move & it made me cry in some parts cause what the Japanese did to us & the fact that my father was on the USS West Virgina when all this happened . He survived but died in 1989 .

If you like WWII and love stories, then buy this movie. Overall, the action is intense but the storyline sort of ruins the war aspect to it, though this movie is of a 5 out of 5 potential, it only gains the respect of 4 out of 5

This movie takes the viewer back to 1940s and World War II. Excellent camera work and thrilling scenes; great story line.

Loved the movie. It was very romantic and edge of your seat action. When the actual part of the movie that was based on real events happened it was like i was there when it actually happened. I recommend the movie.

The wife loves this movie for the romance, I love it for the plot, the history, the battle scenes, and the sound effects........

I waited so long to finally own this film! absolutely love it especially in blu- ray and in a single disc.

this movie seriously rocks from begining to end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had not watched Pearl Harbor since it was in theaters and it is still as good as I remember!

good movie to have in collection. The CGI effects are kind of cool at the time it came out.

Despite eye-popping work on the Pearl Harbor attack, this film feels more like Star Wars than Saving Private Ryan and, as a result, is disgraceful to those who served & died in WWII. When our boring, wooden heroes take off in planes to combat the Japanese attackers, I'm surprised they didn't start to belt out the Star Wars theme the same way Peter Griffin did in "The Family Guy"'s Star Wars episode. Instead of a poignant story of the 1941 fateful attack at the titular location, we are instead given a lamely written love triangle involving three uninteresting people. Why? Because apparently that's what teenagers want to see as we can't have any movie with Ben Affleck & Josh Hartnett get a R rating because it would turn away the all-important teenage demographic. God forbid, this movie should have the brutal honesty which has been a hallmark of great war films like Patton, Apocalypse Now, Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, Glory, Saving Private Ryan, Flags of Our Fathers, and Letters From Iwo Jima.

Alot of hype about this movie, but it wasn't worth it. Michael Bay is usually good at movie magic, with plot, CGI, and shots, but this one wasn't his best. The only part of the movie that was good was the 20 minute scene when Japan sent the bommers, but after that it fell short. Three hours of story that had nothing to do with Pearl Habor, it was like watching the Titantic. You know what was gonna happen, but it took to long to get it. And when it finally happened, there was nothing else to do but find a way to end.

I think this is the worse movie ever made. the only good part is the japenese bombing pearl harbor. The rest is very boring and makes you want to fall asleep
